Most famous person I know.

Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?

Introduction- today I am going to talk about the most famous person I know.

I don’t know any infamous people, most of the people I know are regular folks who work the grind everyday and may play music on the side.

The most famous person I met was at a concert he was doing, when I was ten years old is JT from Kool and the Gang. JT was the lead singer. They are a rhythm and blues band way back in the 1980’s.

My parents were promoters a long time ago and brought Kool and the gang here to Tucson AZ and all over the country. It was their job to promote different concerts all over the country.

Kool and the Gang sang “Celebrate.” I think that was their biggest hit. Also, sang “Lady’s night,” which was another big hit for them. Well I received JT’s autograph. He is the lead singer. He is such a cool guy. I didn’t get to know him but I met him.

In conclusion-the most famous person I met was JT from Kool and the Gang because my parents brought the show to Tucson AZ. Thank you for reading.

Risk for music

What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to?

Introduction- many people are in a position of taking a big risk, but have not done it yet, for a number of reasons. They need to get prepared to do the risk, or they do not have the time to take the big risk. Whatever the reason here is the biggest risk I would like to take, but have not been able to do yet.

I would like to play some gigs at bars and clubs singing and playing the shaker. I have done a little gigging in Tucson, but it was before COVID-19 hit. I would start out slowly just going to open mics, and see if there is any interest in getting a band going, then we can start gigging around Tucson. Open mics are at bars that have a special night where musicians have a chance to perform in front of a crowd, usually for about fifteen minutes and then the next performer comes up. There is usually no money for the performance and if you are good, the bar can ask you to come back and gig there, but that has not happened to me.

In conclusion- people are in a position to take a big risk, but have not done it yet, for a number of reasons. They have to do preparation for the big risk or they don’t have enough time to do the big risk. Whatever the reason, my big risk is to get a band together and start gigging. Thank you for reading.

Achieving music and writing

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?

Many people set personal goals and achieve them with success. Others set out to achieve the same goal and face heartache because for some reason this world wants the person to work harder at the goal. Or the person doesn’t have what it takes to reach the goal. If you fall, get back up dust yourself off and try again, said by Alia. One of these days, someone will recognize you and help you achieve the goal. You have to be tenacious in your approach and maybe you can reach the goal. Just don’t give up.

The hardest goal I have tried to achieve for myself is making money with my music or lyrics or writing for a living. I like the idea of doing blogs for some money so I don’t have to be on the road all the time, doing doordash all the time. Maybe some runs but not a lot of runs. I love to write and write lyrics. I just need to find a way to make money with it. This is my hardest personal goal I have set for myself. Or maybe it is in doing a job from home. Anyways, I need to explore making money at home.

Many people want the freedom to work from home and support themselves with the money they make from just working from home. Most of the jobs out there, want you to put up money for training and you don’t know if you can make money with the job. I never put up money for these types of jobs. They could be a scam and take the money and run.

In conclusion, many people have personal goals that they reach or maybe they have to try harder to attain, but they should never give up. My personal goals are to do music and write lyrics and also have a blog where I can make some money doing it. So I don’t have to do so many runs with Doordash, but just a few. Thank you for reading this.

Artists I love

Who are your favorite artists?

Music transforms all of us. It can make you happy or sad. It is a rush sometimes and can be an emotional rollercoaster. Most people love music to dance to or to get them going and give them energy to get things done. Music is a billion dollar industry and it is not going anywhere.

Some of my favorite artists are 2pac with his rhyming rap songs. He is considered the greatest rapper of all time and his songs just make you think or make you feel good. Rest in peace 2pac.

Another one of my favorite artists is the drummer of Led Zeppelin. His name is John Bonham. He was a thunderbolt on the drums. He was incredibly talented on the drums. If you ever get the chance listen to Moby Dick. The drum solo on that track is awesome. You can see for yourself. Rest in peace John Bonham.

Another one is Jimmy Hendrix. He was incredible on the guitar. He was a singer too. He invented acid rock which later became heavy metal. He had all kinds of tricks such as playing the guitar with his mouth to lighting his guitar on fire. Voo doo child is one of his best songs. Rest in peace Jimmy Hendrix.

Another one was John Lennon. He was from the band the Beatles. He played guitar and was a singer and wrote fabulous songs such as Please Please me. Him along with Paul McCartney were the main song writers and singers. Well Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds got me through my coma. My mom used to put headphones on my head and play the song on a walkman on a tape. That song alone made me wake up from my coma. So I have mad respect for John Lennon because he wrote and sang the song. Great song, rest in peace John Lennon.

There are many more, but I will stop there. Those are the main artists I have mad respect for. Even though they may not be with us anymore, they were some of the greatest artists at what they did. Thank you for reading.
